SQLITE_IOERR: disk I/o error. Pruning Failed. Failed to hard-delete executions

Describe the problem/error/question

I deployed the n8n self-hosted using a single Docker container to Azure App Service, mounting to Azure File Share. It has been running okay but suddenly I have encountered the error:
SQLITE_IOERR: disk I/o error. (showing in the UI)
Pruning Failed. Failed to hard-delete executions. (showing in the App Logs)

Do you know what it is trying to delete and what could be potential issues? Is there any way to fix this error? Thanks.

Hey @alice.rio hope all is well. Welcome to the community.

as to what it is trying to delete
What you see is data pruning. You can read more about data pruning on the website:
here.

As to why this is happening… not sure. Are you by any change running an old version of n8n?

I think I am runnign the older version of n8n. Just curious why the older version could result in the issue? @jabbson

The reason I brought up the version is I looked up if anyone else had this issue and found onlt two or three mentions of it and both were not recent or mentioned the versions of n8n that were not recent. I made an assumption this could have been a bug, that was since then fixed.
